charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were sealed in the complaint and were not immediately available. ...

Leads us to just speculate on the likely charges...

Possession of firearms without it being registered? We do have lots of gun control here in MA...

Yep just with the Massachusetts gun charges he ought to be looking at some serious time... 1) Illegal possession of an assault weapon (mp5)
2) Illegal possession of high capacity mags
3) Illegal possession of a handgun (no FID card)
4) Illegal possession of ammunition (No FID card)
5) Discharging a firearm within 500 feet of an occupied dwelling and/or a public way.
6) Attempted murder of the officer they shot
7) Murder of the MIT officer
8) Additional attempted murder charges as prosecutor sees fit (i.e. trying to run down the cops, shooting at the cops)
9) Carjacking
10) Kidnapping (related to carjacking)

11) Obstruction of justice (running his brother over)
12) Possesion of an infernal device (Massachusetts speak for bomb - their statutes about bombs date way back to the pilgrim times)
13) Attempted murder charges for setting bombs off in the police gun battle.
14) Probably could charge him with murder of his brother, and leaving the scene of an accident.
The list of charges runs on and on, so if its time they want to give him, he'll be doing life without parole. I'd say he is a dead man walking, and I used to think that would be the way to go in these types of cases, but having had a chance to read some the blind sheikh's letters to friends in Egypt, related to his lifetime incarceration at a SuperMax prison where he is in solitary confinement, I'd think that this would be a more vindictive punishment than the death penalty. Personally, I'd like to see him sentenced to death, and given a reprieve at the last minute, when he has the IV's in his arms. As I said, a life time in solitary confinement at a federal Super Max is the way to go with this POS.
